I always remember the love story of Orion and Artemis because every winter (I live in Japan) I always see the constellation of Orion and it’s beautiful ✨
1:45 lmao! " Excuse me young lady, have you seen Artemis? She's a beautiful young lady with no mud on her face" "No I've not, and I've clearly got mud on my face so it can't be me your looking for" " Oh by the gods no, I'm looking for someone with a clean face" Wait hang on, How'd Predator end again?
Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) covered himself with mud so the predator can't track him anymore. He killed the predator while covered in mud pack... ... ... ....
The story excerpts that I have read mentions that the nymphs and Artemis covered her with mud and distracted the man. The guy was the type to kill someone if he couldn't have her heart, so he probably wasn't very bright anyway.
I appreciate that you included all of the different stories of Orion's death. You don't always hear all of them when learning about him, so thank you 👍
Despite this is unfair, i like this myth because he is *the only one* I like to imagine how they ran into the forest hunting, trying to beat each other at hunting. It could be a great love story for a book or film, two hunters that share the same passion competing to see who is the best. They are practically equal even if one is a man and the other is a woman or one being a giant and hated by the gods for it and she was a goddess. If you focus in the time they pass together you realize they fell in love because they shared the same interests and treated each others as equals because they were willing to compete, which wouldn't happen if he wasn't as good as she. Also you can say even Artemis, the virgin goddess is capable of love. But the only one she loved is dead. And really that's how people fall in love in real life, sharing interests, spending time together and respecting each other. I like to focus more in that part of the story because is a relation that was built slowly even if is the part that's mostly overclocked or has short duration. And compared to other love stories in which the hero just wins a new bride this is a very sweet one
@@brianaschmidt910 lol, yeah basically, but she did try to have a relationship with a man so we can't say for sure that she would've remained a virgin/maiden goddess.
@@artemisnighthuntress3709 I'm...how does that negate what I said. She only developed sexual feelings after a long and healthy friendship. Which is actually the textbook definition of asexuality. That doesn't mean that she has to remain a virgin. It just means that she's not into casual flings or even sex.
Artemis would definitely be my patron goddess. Hearing this story always breaks my heart for her. I mean can you imagine finally falling in love and you accidentally kill them? No thanks
I'm use to Greek stories having tragic ends but dang I feel especially bad for these two. Orion constantly dying, even after getting resurrected. And Artemis lost out on the one person she had feelings for. It is a good reminder though that somethings just aren't meant to be and that's a tough lesson
Being born from piss..... ok. I like the idea of them hunting together and having a relationship through that. Can you do a video on the giants? Shouldn’t Gaia also be considered guilty in this story by not thinking?

I've always been fascinated by Orion and I had no idea how contested his story was until today. I think the purpose of any myth or story is to teach a lesson however and the multiple endings to Orion's short life only serves to provides with multiple lessons to learn from.
Despite not being much of an Artemis fan (I've always liked Athena and Persephone best) I do truly enjoy this story. Something about Orion being the only entity that Artemis ever loved is really compelling for me. I like to imagine what that must have been like for her, to have never been attracted to anyone before, then suddenly finding herself with all these emotions she never new before or ever again.
I never knew who Orion was and why he was a constellation, but even then Artemis aas one of my favorites as a Badass who would kill any a*hole that was less than respectful of her
Athena is tolerable. Persephone can be buried. But dude, deep. Over before it began. But there's a difference between physical attraction and real love. You can have a fleeting crush, a one night stand or be in relationship with someone for years but never really love them. The difference is though Persephone never had that, she literally just accepted some gross ass creep who lives in his mother's basement that stalked her and pulled her down. Artemis didn't - so she's always been my fave.

I remember hearing a story about another man who had fallen in love with Artemis and was also a hunter. He had been killed by his own father and Artemis had him brought back, where he then became a priest at her temple
Thanks for the video! Hades and Persephone have always been my favourite love story of the gods. My second fav would be Eros and Psyche. Happy V. Day to everyone.
I assume that was before Artemis. As some of the other stories pertaining to him (like that princess, or the sons he had by a group of river nymphs). A lot of those seemed more superficial, while his love for Artemis was deep and genuine.
There is also a version where he is Apollo's sometimes lover. Apollo was jealous of Artemis, but also mad that she could give up her oath for such a person. If the greek pantheon had a god of sex, Apollo would definitely challenge his dad for that title.
@@theabandonedspace7270 No, Orion actually DID chase the Pleiades for 12 years straight! Zeus happened to seduce Maia, Electra and Taygete at one point.
@@decoral from what I understand, he chased the Pleiades, and his constellation is pursuing the Pleiades as well. And 6 of the 7 Pleiades had children with gods and the seventh, Merope, didn't, and because of that, she became the dimmest star from the Pleiades.
Indeed. Here are a few resources to explore: The Eye of the Sahara, Plato's depiction, Randal Carlson and Graham Hancock are the authorities of the topic {don't fret, no aliens} Clovis Comet and the Younger Dryas, and the Santorini, Greek dig sight. Enjoy.
While I do like this version of story, it is a more recent attempt to make Artemis more appealing to a later audience, and writes her in a way that is very much against what she stood for as a god. Artemis' whole niche was virginity and hunting, one of her epithets was Parthanos (Virgin) and most of her hunters swore oaths of celibacy. Artemis and Orion did have a good relationship, Orion often depicted as a hunting companion and sometimes rival, but in traditional myth, were not romantically involved. This particular version as far as anyone can tell was a fabrication on the part of Gaius Julius Hyginus, a latin author recounting the myth many years later. Not to mention the plethora of alternate versions where she deliberately kills Orion.
No because this is later cisheteronormative european fanfiction trying to remove the independent/ace/lesbian bend from a powerful and respected goddess
Found your channel about 2 months ago and have now finished all of your videos and I have really enjoyed them. Look forward to everything you have coming up in the future as well.
Thanks. That was fun. I've been on an Artemis kick this week. My friend brought me an outdoor plant and the name of said vegetation? Artemesia HA! I haven't shared much about my newest favorite subject (Greek Myths) with her, and she's not familiar with the subject. When I looked at the label and saw artemias I practically shouted DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS? Artemis = a bad ass greek goddess who hunts with a bow and arrow! Pulled out my phone, Googled, showed her pics. She got really excited, too 🌱

Thank you for covering my favorite mythological love story. I came across a video that was extremely perplexing. Unlike your video where you did actually cover all the different ways, Orion met his demise. This particular video. So far I think it was on a different streaming platform and. Geo blocked because of the fact that, everybody’s video algorithm looks different depending on what countries are in. It was a very confusing episode. In the sense Apollo killed in Orion. But then Orion into TV, drama fashion. Somehow resurrected himself back from the dead. They then started talking about how he tried to talk about how he could kill everything on earth. And Artemis getting angry at this claim. And shooting him dead. But one second through the sheer power of comically unrealistic TV drama standards. He resurrected himself. And he resumed romantic relationship with Artemis. He did this 15 to 16 times. Until the episode ended. that end of the episode. Somehow ended up with a Orion and Artemis getting together… me being a person obsessed with different countries. Mythology. But still learning about my own Hinduism mythology. Decided to scroll back. To the video channels webpage. And I realized not only two things. It was Valentine’s Day. And hence this is why I was recommended their odd web show on my then active Vemio account. It was a special series of not fanfiction. But traditional Greek love stories all formulated to have happily ever after scenarios. To say that that was the most unintentional, funny and confusing Valentine’s Day 15 or 16 years old me faced is an understatement. 😂
I mean, the real reason Orion is always dying is because his constellation is an observable fact and all of these stories are just explainations for how a giant man ended up in the stars. Which is cool.

I've always been interested in Orion since I have a birthmark on my right bicep that looks like the constellation Orion. It's faded a lot with age but when I was a kid it was very clearly visible.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the demisexual undertones of Artimus's story. In many of the tellings of his story, Orian and Artimus become good friends, and the romance blooms only after the friendship is well established.
The variation I heard as a kid (It's been a while since I heard this story so sorry I might be missing details) about Artemis and Orion was that Apollo was jealous of his sister's relationship because he had no such luck in romance. Envious of his sister's luck in finding love, he made up a lie that Orion boasted to Apollo that he was someone who could kill any creature, which angered the gods. Zeus or Gaea (I can't remember who) sent Scorpio as it was supposedly the only creature who could sneak up on Orion and his hunting dogs. Scorpio killed Orion, which broke Artemis's heart, so she asked Zeus to put him and his loyal dogs in the stars. For some reason, Zeus also put Scorpio in the stars too. So, at certain times of the year, the stars depict the scene of Scorpio stalking Orion and his dogs before killing the hunter (I'm not an astronomer, so idk how accurate that last part of the story is to the actual constellations).
Lmao that is what many of the stories entail, but in the end Orion was hitting on her and/or her huntresses, so as revenge she sent out the giant scorpion to kill him. Another is that she killed him because he wanted to kill everything on earth because of his huge hubris. And no, they didn’t actually love each other. That’s just all the translations and historians making shit up, just for drama.
Artemis to Orion - there is something inside you, it's hard to explain, they're talking about you boy, but you stay the same....... Then Orion gave her a nightcall
I love this story a very sweet, unrequited love.. I may have watched this at least thrice. Glad you always try cover as many of its versions. Funny, 💚 mud packs 😄

I like to imagine how they ran into the forest hunting, trying to beat each other at hunting.

They are practically equal even if one is a man and the other is a woman or one being a giant and hated by the gods for it and she was a goddess.
If you focus in the time they pass together you realize they fell in love because they shared the same interests and treated each others as equals because they were willing to compete, which wouldn't happen if he wasn't as good as she.
Also you can say even Artemis, the virgin goddess is capable of love. But the only one she loved is dead.

The gods pee created him=urine/orion=Urion
Thanks for the video! Hades and Persephone have always been my favourite love story of the gods. My second fav would be Eros and Psyche. Happy V. Day to everyone.
Orion’s... Orion’s B-bu, Orion’s Butt?
Orion’s Belt?
The galaxy is on Orion’s Belt...
Orion’s bell

Didn't Orion also lust after and chase the 7 maidens that would become the Pleiades constellation?
I assume that was before Artemis. As some of the other stories pertaining to him (like that princess, or the sons he had by a group of river nymphs). A lot of those seemed more superficial, while his love for Artemis was deep and genuine.
Richie Godsil no that was Zeus actually
There is also a version where he is Apollo's sometimes lover. Apollo was jealous of Artemis, but also mad that she could give up her oath for such a person.
If the greek pantheon had a god of sex, Apollo would definitely challenge his dad for that title.
@@theabandonedspace7270 No, Orion actually DID chase the Pleiades for 12 years straight! Zeus happened to seduce Maia, Electra and Taygete at one point.
@@decoral from what I understand, he chased the Pleiades, and his constellation is pursuing the Pleiades as well. And 6 of the 7 Pleiades had children with gods and the seventh, Merope, didn't, and because of that, she became the dimmest star from the Pleiades.
Another greek vid noice, keep it up bro I love the skyrim ost in the background
Artemis killed Scorpio ♏️ I like her already
No you’re wrong. Artmemis’s friend/lover was killed in battle with a Scorpion.When he was dead he became Scorpio constellation.
I feel like their relationship was love but never to ever be acted on but an ever lasting companion for her immortal life
I think a great theme of this story is that we don't always get the chance to be with the ones we love. So always cherish time with your loved ones.
i always wondered about Atlantis, is there even a story behind it?
Indeed. Here are a few resources to explore: The Eye of the Sahara, Plato's depiction, Randal Carlson and Graham Hancock are the authorities of the topic {don't fret, no aliens} Clovis Comet and the Younger Dryas, and the Santorini, Greek dig sight. Enjoy.
While I do like this version of story, it is a more recent attempt to make Artemis more appealing to a later audience, and writes her in a way that is very much against what she stood for as a god. Artemis' whole niche was virginity and hunting, one of her epithets was Parthanos (Virgin) and most of her hunters swore oaths of celibacy. Artemis and Orion did have a good relationship, Orion often depicted as a hunting companion and sometimes rival, but in traditional myth, were not romantically involved. This particular version as far as anyone can tell was a fabrication on the part of Gaius Julius Hyginus, a latin author recounting the myth many years later. Not to mention the plethora of alternate versions where she deliberately kills Orion.
Exactly!
"Divine pee" Yep, sounds legit 😂
Loved this story in your book and how you explained it. Please put out more books with more stories
I'm glad you enjoyed the book! we are working on future books though they may take a different direction.
"Tragic love story"
Me: ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE SAMW ARTEMIS?!
No because this is later cisheteronormative european fanfiction trying to remove the independent/ace/lesbian bend from a powerful and respected goddess
As someone who has lived through a long, tragic love story, this definitely hits home. :'(
"Like a giant man-plant which had just been watered with divine pee."
Found your channel about 2 months ago and have now finished all of your videos and I have really enjoyed them. Look forward to everything you have coming up in the future as well.
Orion is my fav constellation for some reason...
Besides the stories and images, I really love your voice and intros
P.S. my name is Artemis. Thank you for presenting this
Talk about the greek giants
Good lessons to be learnt here, sir. Thank you for your advice in this regard. God bless!
This is so...tragic. I mean yeah most Greek stories end in tragedy but gosh
Thanks. That was fun. I've been on an Artemis kick this week. My friend brought me an outdoor plant and the name of said vegetation? Artemesia HA! I haven't shared much about my newest favorite subject (Greek Myths) with her, and she's not familiar with the subject. When I looked at the label and saw artemias I practically shouted DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS? Artemis = a bad ass greek goddess who hunts with a bow and arrow! Pulled out my phone, Googled, showed her pics. She got really excited, too 🌱
You do know there is only one source for artemis being in love with Orion and a bazilion others where she is the one that hates him
Yikes, must suck to be a man hater.
Of all the Greek myths this one is my favorite, and favor the version of Apollo challenging Artemis to a archery contest.
Orion's death was first mentioned by homer in the 8th BC stating artemis to be the slayer of orion :
Homer, Odyssey 5. 121 (Greek epic C8th B.C.) calypso , abandoned by Odysseus, lament it:] ‘You are merciless, you gods, resentful beyond all other beings; you are jealous if without disguise a goddess makes a man her bedfellow, her beloved husband. So it was when Eos (Dawn) of the rosy-fingers chose out Orion; you gods who live in such ease yourselves were jealous of her until chaste Artemis in her cloth-of-gold visited him with her gentle shafts and slew him in Ortygia
@@Sanjaykumar-zr8my we get it!
This version of the myth has no relevance to the actual greek belief and runs completely counter to centuries of Artemis' characterisation
Can you do a video on Jewish mythology like the Nephilim?
Really late but have you read the book series called the mortal instruments? It’s really good and the protagonists are all nephilim
"emotions such as love do make it difficult for us to remain rational"
Agreed
Orion, the only guy to cure blindness by staring at the sun
I'm addicted to these videos
Divine pee.... Eewww thought gods didn't have use the bathroom like mortals 💭
Thank you for covering my favorite mythological love story. I came across a video that was extremely perplexing. Unlike your video where you did actually cover all the different ways, Orion met his demise. This particular video. So far I think it was on a different streaming platform and. Geo blocked because of the fact that, everybody’s video algorithm looks different depending on what countries are in. It was a very confusing episode. In the sense Apollo killed in Orion. But then Orion into TV, drama fashion. Somehow resurrected himself back from the dead. They then started talking about how he tried to talk about how he could kill everything on earth. And Artemis getting angry at this claim. And shooting him dead. But one second through the sheer power of comically unrealistic TV drama standards. He resurrected himself. And he resumed romantic relationship with Artemis. He did this 15 to 16 times. Until the episode ended. that end of the episode. Somehow ended up with a Orion and Artemis getting together… me being a person obsessed with different countries. Mythology. But still learning about my own Hinduism mythology. Decided to scroll back. To the video channels webpage. And I realized not only two things. It was Valentine’s Day. And hence this is why I was recommended their odd web show on my then active Vemio account. It was a special series of not fanfiction. But traditional Greek love stories all formulated to have happily ever after scenarios. To say that that was the most unintentional, funny and confusing Valentine’s Day 15 or 16 years old me faced is an understatement. 😂
I mean, the real reason Orion is always dying is because his constellation is an observable fact and all of these stories are just explainations for how a giant man ended up in the stars. Which is cool.
I honestly love these videos. You really deserve more subscribers!

I've always been interested in Orion since I have a birthmark on my right bicep that looks like the constellation Orion. It's faded a lot with age but when I was a kid it was very clearly visible.
Awesome intro brother!!!
I love the background music......it suits the stories
Can you please elaborate on the tale of Siproites?
Better channel than anything on television. #bestchannelonyoutube
This Orion thumbnail is just Michael Cera with as beard
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the demisexual undertones of Artimus's story. In many of the tellings of his story, Orian and Artimus become good friends, and the romance blooms only after the friendship is well established.
The variation I heard as a kid (It's been a while since I heard this story so sorry I might be missing details) about Artemis and Orion was that Apollo was jealous of his sister's relationship because he had no such luck in romance. Envious of his sister's luck in finding love, he made up a lie that Orion boasted to Apollo that he was someone who could kill any creature, which angered the gods. Zeus or Gaea (I can't remember who) sent Scorpio as it was supposedly the only creature who could sneak up on Orion and his hunting dogs. Scorpio killed Orion, which broke Artemis's heart, so she asked Zeus to put him and his loyal dogs in the stars. For some reason, Zeus also put Scorpio in the stars too. So, at certain times of the year, the stars depict the scene of Scorpio stalking Orion and his dogs before killing the hunter (I'm not an astronomer, so idk how accurate that last part of the story is to the actual constellations).
I will find my artemis again
Wasn't Artemis also known as the Princess Diana (aka) Wonder Woman?
@@delphi5484 No. Romans just changed her name to Diana.
Hy Ori
How he says" like a giant man plant that sprungs up after being showered with divine pee" with such a calm voice had me cracking up😂😂😂
You could also not fall in love in Greek mythology.
Great vid. This was the 1st story I read in your book. Always been a fan of Artemis!
While I enjoy Rick Riordan's series, I hate what he did with Orion.
Agreed
Sameee, u can see me crying like a young girl who's hopelessly romantic at the distance
Your voice is soo peaceful , listening to you continuously , even while I am about to sleep:)
or maybe artemis just wasn't romantically interested in men and orion and her were besties
Lmao that is what many of the stories entail, but in the end Orion was hitting on her and/or her huntresses, so as revenge she sent out the giant scorpion to kill him. Another is that she killed him because he wanted to kill everything on earth because of his huge hubris. And no, they didn’t actually love each other. That’s just all the translations and historians making shit up, just for drama.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa7638 for drama and the usual cisheteronormative crap
I love your videos but mostly your voice, hope you continue the great videos!!!
Artemis to Orion - there is something inside you, it's hard to explain, they're talking about you boy, but you stay the same.......
Then Orion gave her a nightcall
Lol. Nice.
HAHAHA, WHAT?!
I love this story a very sweet, unrequited love.. I may have watched this at least thrice. Glad you always try cover as many of its versions. Funny, 💚 mud packs 😄
So what you're saying is that Apollo has always been a jealous prick? I read Lore Olympus, and I absolutely hate him
😆🤣😅😂😜😃😄You have a great sense of humor and narrating a Tale. Thanks!
Nothing says love story like hades kidnapping Persephone and she's totally cool with it
anthony lotts
And Eros with Phyche
the oblivion soundtrack is fire!!!
This just makes you feel SO BAD for Artemis! The one time she falls in love and he later dies!! T_T
This is such an underrated channel
My favorite part is orion healed his blindness by looking at the sun. Wonder how many blind people back then tried this
This dude needs to hit 1 Million subscribers already.
I don't know who I feel bader for Artemis or Orion
